ratio in simplest form
400 centimeters to 1 meter
1
400:1 cm/m
To simplify a ratio, we need to determine if there is a common factor between the numerator (400) and the denominator (1).
In this case, 1 does not have any factors except for 1 itself. So, we can't simplify the denominator any further.
For the numerator, we can divide it by a common factor to simplify it. In this case, the greatest common factor (GCF) between 400 and 1 is 1.
To simplify the ratio, divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
400 ÷ 1 = 400
1 ÷ 1 = 1
Therefore, the simplified ratio is 400:1.
